More and more, the ‘circular economy’ is being discussed as a solution to climate change, resource management, and economic disparity. Many businesses are implementing circular economy strategies into their operations and there is a good chance that your local council or community organisation is talking about how to integrate circular economy practices into your local recycling, waste management, or other resources-based process. However, one of the main problems around ‘circular economy’ is the amount of confusion that surrounds it. So, Insight into Impact has invited a circular economy advocate, spokesperson and educator onto the show to clear any misunderstandings.

As the Founder of Circular Economy Pioneers Australia, Chelsea Mclean brings enthusiasm for all things circular economy. Throughout the episode, she discusses what the circular economy is, what the benefits are, where it originated, and what frameworks are most pertinent to certain markets. Chelsea also gives details about how ‘circular’ Australian and circular economies are at the moment

Various circular business models are explored, along with each’s pros and cons. Chelsea provides real-world examples for each and discusses some of the issues/ challenges that impact their ability to be integrated at scale.
